Pantone™ PMS 7416 U

PMS 7416 U is a Pantone Matching System color target, not a fixed paint formula. MyPerfectColor matches to that Pantone reference at the time of production. For the most consistent results across reorders, use the same product type, sheen, and application method each time. Changes in finish, substrate, or how the paint is applied can shift the perceived color even when the Pantone target is the same.

For high-visibility or brand-critical projects, approving a physical sample and keeping that approval standard for future runs helps reduce variation expectations.

PMS 7416 U is a saturated Pantone color, so application technique matters. Apply multiple light coats rather than one heavy coat. Thin coats help build color evenly, improve hide, and reduce the risk of streaking or blotchiness.

Allow each coat to flash off before applying the next. Exact timing depends on conditions like temperature, airflow, and film thickness, so follow the general guidance for light, even passes instead of rushing coverage.

Yes. Surface texture has a noticeable effect on how PMS 7416 U is perceived. Smooth surfaces reflect light more evenly, while textured or porous substrates create shadows and scatter light.

As a result, the same Pantone color can appear darker, lighter, or less saturated depending on the surface. When color accuracy is critical, evaluate PMS 7416 U on the actual substrate and texture used in the final application.

Paint matched to PMS 7416 U is made to order. Production lead time depends on the product format, quantity, and current production volume.

If you are working against a fixed marketing or installation deadline, it is best to plan ahead and confirm timing before ordering. Ordering samples early can also help keep larger projects on schedule.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 7416 U. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 7416 U in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
